[Wayne Little]

Genda's Blade: 343 Kokutai - Japan's Squadron of Aces, is on my wish list, is it good?

I have it, and Yes it is a great book!

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers Wayne, good to know, excellent!

 

[Lucky13]

Showed up today, bl**dy quick and seeing that they were £0.01 and £2.80, bl**dy cheap too, as they're pretty much new condition...

Good show old boy. BTW, are you trying to out-do the Bodlean, or British Library, by any chance?!!

 

[Lucky13]

If I see a good book for £0.01 and £2.00, I'll grab it old boy....

 

[Airframes]

Yep, me too! Just ordered one at 24 Pence, and another at £2.95 !

 

[Lucky13]

Jolly good show old boy, have a snifter!

 

[Lucky13]

....for £0.99!

 

[Airframes]

You going for the full set then, old chap?!!
Still waiting for the 'Mosquito, Typhoon Tempest' book to arrive - dispatched over a week ago, and hasn't turned up yet.
But this arrived today, dispatched on Tuesday - virtually new, just one tiny dent on the top of the dust jacket, and only £4.95 !!
Waiting for another P-47 book to arrive too.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice!

 

[Lucky13]

Excellent old boy!

480 pages B-26 Marauder....also £0.99!

 

[Airframes]

That's a steal!
It's finally arrived - 5 minutes ago.
Originally published as two separate volumes in the early 1970's, at £14.95 each, this pristine, 317 page, combined volume was only £4.93 !!

 

[Lucky13]

Jolly good show old chap!
D*mn decent books what....?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Yea I'm curious, how is it?

 

[Lucky13]

Aye, actually.....how is the '47 book old boy?

The 'At War' combined volume is the same as the individual volumes - but heavy! As with most of the 'At War' series, the main content is the photographs, with chapters covering development, specific events and anecdotal accounts from aircrews etc.
The P-47 book is the full development history of the type, along with chapters covering operational units of all air forces, accounts of actions, production listing, unit listings plus information on all 9th USAAF airfields in the UK and on the Continent. Some good photos, and representative colour profiles of 3 or 4 aircraft from each USAAF Air Force operator, plus allied use.
All in all, it appears to be a very useful reference, although I've only had a brief flip through it so far. Certainly well worth the low price for a 'as new' book.

 

[Lucky13]

320 pages on the Catalina, can't be all that bad, for a couple of camels....

 

[vikingBerserker]

That is on my list to get!

 

[Lucky13]

Some say, that I've got an ever so slight aircraft obsession with the Catalina....bushwa I say!
